I made a passing comment on this the other day but wanted to shine a brighter light on their B1G schedule.
Teams they face once, only at home: Purdue, Rutgers, and Michigan State. They avoid the biggest home court advantages in the conference.
Teams they face once, only on the road: Illinois today, Indiana, and Nebraska. Illinois is a mess right now although I see they are listed as 7.5 pt favorites still by Yahoo sports. Indiana game is 1/14 so they won't have Xavier Johnson or Race. Nebraska is a bottom four candidate.
So while I still say Wisconsin looks very overrated, their schedule does them a lot of favors in tbeir quest to stay near the top of the conference standings.
